Democrats Revive ‘Abolish ICE’
Despite the intentions of party leaders, woke still shapes the Democratic agenda
“Abolish ICE” was one of the chief proposals that made Democrats look too woke for voters and hurt Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. After Trump’s landslide victory, this idea, among others, was seemingly buried by party leaders.
But the proposal is now back to dominating left-wing discourse and will likely shape the party’s agenda in upcoming elections, as I explain in my latest American Conservative column:
Democrats were apoplectic over the ICE shooting. Regardless of the facts on the ground, they determined the officer murdered an innocent woman in cold blood and want immigration law enforcement to pay the price. Prominent Democrats in Congress, such as Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), want the federal agency defunded in the budget for Homeland Security. Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL) plans to introduce articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem over the matter.
Other Democrats explicitly called for ICE’s abolishment. Massachusetts’s Rep. Ayanna Pressley declared ICE a “rogue, violent agency” that “must be abolished.” The Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner claimed in an X post that “Dismantling ICE is the moderate position.”

It's too late: in less than a year the 20,000,000 Piven-Cloward replacement voter migrants have been reduce by 15%. By the end of the orange term, they will be down to 10,00,000 potential replacement voters. Poor dems. If only Kamala had been able to speak like a normal presidential candidate, the plan might have been successful. Now, it's not a sure deal for the dems.
Revive? When did it go away?
